Once video from 1990

[windjammer]

Have been watching it on and off on YouTube over the the last couple of years. I must admit that it is not too my taste, and it is over 40 years since I first saw Roy at Les Cousins. The guitars sound awful and the usual Harper wit and repartee is absent, perhaps it was edited out. Roy himself does sound very down and a bit po-faced if I can say that. All the same I am surprised that it hasn't reappeared on DVD over the years. Is it because Roy doesn't like it himself and has similar feelings to mine that he was caught on an off night ? Certainly it can't be compared to the excellent "Behind The Door" DVD but is better than the truly awful "Roy Harper In Your Living Room" that can also be found on YouTube.

I was there that night and it was a good gig, it as bloody cold though ;-)

I actually like it for that reason, I love the dark mood & atmosphere of the Dominion gig, one I regrettably missed..

i wasn't there but roy has said time and time that it was so freezing cold in there that night that it casued him to be tense and distracted...

Fellow buskers...... that reminds me so much. It's hard enough keeping the strings down on the fretboard, let alone if they are freezing cold!

Double trouble. It requires perserverence which Roy has always had in ample regard. He might have crashed sometimes in his life, but the Genghis fights back remarkedly.
